[QUOTE="Bigdawg90, post: 3868518, member: 49831"] I think the misunderstanding is in thinking everyone is a like. Many human beings are a wreck after killing other humans. That is a fact. If you read the book “On Killing” and the many other books like it, there is a large body of evidence that supports your central argument. An individual is changed when placed in a situation where they are forced to take a life and they should be greatly cared for after doing so. The problem with your argument is this, there are only so many among us that are capable of taking a life and then continuing to function. If we find those few individuals who are capable of coping with that act, we should empower them to do what so many are incapable of doing. That is, delivering judgement when swift judgement is required. Why would we retire a high functioning individual who is capable of doing, what statistically few are capable of doing? There are so few warriors in society today and so few opportunities to separate the “so-called” warriors from those that are true in heart. Your argument is from compassion and I understand that, but the true warriors don’t cope well with retirement and being handcuffed. Many times when placed in a caring environment those men take their own lives rather than live commonplace. True compassion is letting people be who they are. Let warriors shoulder the burden of death and destruction. If there’s violence in their hearts, let them put that violence to good use. The men I know in this capacity do so happily and with great pride. If you are incapable of being violent, or living with yourself afterwards, be thankful for the men and women who happily perpetrate violence so that you can live free. [/QUOTE]
